What is CBD Oil?

CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is one of the 400 complex compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, which is the psychoactive component of the plant, CBD is non-psychoactive and is currently being studied and utilized for possible therapeutic effects in the body. Evidence suggests that CBD may be therapeutic for a number of conditions, such as:

Pain relief

Anxiety relief

Anti-proliferation (anti-cancer)

Neurological disorder relief (such as Parkinson's or Epilepsy)

Various other conditions

Yes! CBD is legal at the federal level, and is completely legal in Georgia. You do not need a prescription. To see CBD legality by state, check out this link regarding the legal status of CBD in each state for 2019!

What is a Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?

When discussing cannabis, most people just think of THC and CBD. According to TerraGold Plus' blog, there are over 60 different types of cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Their blog states, "CBD is most effective when it’s used in conjunction with the other beneficial compounds that are found in the hemp plant. These compounds include terpenes, flavonoids and other cannabinoids." A full-spectrum CBD oil not only contains pure CBD, it also contains these other compounds! Why is this important? Terragold's blog mentions something called the "Entourage Effect". This term was coined by an Israeli researcher named Raphael Mechoulam in 1960; he discovered that cannabinoids isolated on their own tended to be less effective than if paired with other cannabinoids. However, this doesn't mean that isolates are completely inneffective. There is evidence that suggests CBD isolate may still be very beneficial for various conditions.

Do Full-Spectrum Oils Contain THC?

While CBD oil is non-psychoactive, Full-Spectrum oils may contain trace amounts of THC (up to 0.03%). The brands of CBD we carry here at Herbal Intentions grow their hemp to have high CBD and low THC content, to ensure that you are getting a pure product that is not mind-altering! This being said, if you are at all concerned with the THC content in full-spectrum oils, have no fear! We have multiple options for CBD isolates (THC free)!
